When diesel fuel is more expensive than gas,it should reflect poorly on the diesel tractors too.What the big interest in diesel models is,I havent "caught that bug"....they may take a little less fuel,but they cost more,are dirty/smelly/polluting engines,very hard to start in extreme cold (not to mention diesel fuel starts jelling below 32 degrees),trap water,weigh a bunch more,and the filters are much more expensive (the old gas jobs dont even have fuel filters!),that need changing all the time (fuel filter/water separator).Not to mention the additional repair items like injectors and rotary injector pump.No....for me,an occasional tractor user,I'll stick with gas....turn that key and fire er off and go.....
